Sip Roof Span

This and light unit weight also reduce embodied and transport energy.

Sip roof span.

And because sip roof panels can be manufactured to span up to 24 feet long and stretch 8 feet wide designers are granted unencumbered architectural opportunities thanks to the reduction of necessary rafter and joist components. Not only will your sip roof panels arrive pre cut and with insulation already fitted they span from wall to ridge beam supplied by us usually without any further support.

Sip insulation exceeds the current building regulation requirements on its own. Sips are fabricated using timber from sustainable sources. Extreme s pre insulated sips offer an option for a high performance roof framing solution that is 15 times tighter than conventional construction practices making it easier to control indoor air environment. The standard 8 x 24 sip size is determined by availability of jumbo osb.

Can recessed lights be used in sips. Build for the future with extreme s structural insulated panels sips the high thermal values and strength properties of extreme s sips are highly beneficial for roof construction. Sip roofs do not require support trusses leaving clear warm habitable roof spaces. The speed of construction offered by jumbo panels has resulted in the 8 x 24 size osb becoming the sip industry standard.

Sips can span long distances allowing a minimal amount of structural supports to be used. This means that the roof space can be left completely open to be used as further accommodation storage or as a vaulted ceiling. Offsite fabrication reduces waste. To install recessed lights an interior soffit must be constructed.

Our rta sips provide superior comfort and lower utility bills for homeowners and commercial property owners while improving construction productivity for builders. Allowing you to make the most of the space you have available. The cost of a sip project is partially dictated by the number of 8 x 24 sheets that are required. Insulspan is a leader in the production of high quality structural insulated panels and experts in energy efficient innovation.

In roof applications sips rely on beams and purlins for support. Recessed lights should never be embedded in structural insulated panels.
